Nearing the completion of the new office building of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, which was scheduled for April 1991, the details of a design competition to find a new institutional logo was worked out. Ten designers and two design offices were invited to participate. The list that was drawn up was a who’s who of Japanese design legends, plus Alan Fletcher! All of which had plenty of experience working within the context of design competitions.
